It’s rather simple, I think. NIRP + ZIRP=yields found only in shares. Best share market is in US. Therefore, debt be damned, earnings be damned, everything be damned, the US share markets rule. Imperfect? Sure, but more perfect than most. So...... All good until not. And when not, cover, cover, cover! With a golden blanket. Note to Jay: you must acknowledge that the above is a masterful facsimile of your writing style. Which I like very much.

Updating Message 32459324 (1) Opened position … (1-a) Short SRPT finance.yahoo.com Put Dec 20 ’19 Put 130 @ 2.72 (had traded this stock before but before recent consistent reporting) December 20th qualifies as extreme short-term-ism in my book. Shall re-visit that date as time-decay completes its work. Closed positions … (1-b) Sold DUST finance.yahoo.com Jan 17 ’20 Put 6 @ 1.20 (shorted @ 1.18) – not about the inconsequential win, but about the distraction given lack of need for hedge.

Shall revisit at higher level. As mentioned enough-times, prefer shorting rather than buying Put options as time decay works against the buyer. (1-g) Bought BMA finance.yahoo.com Apr 17 ’20 Put 22.50 @ 1.20 (shorted @ 1.50) – good enough for a few days, and can use the capacity, and lessen the distraction.
